Description
The appellants, plaintiffs below, filed suit to quiet title to land in the townsite of Toltec, Arizona, against Southern Pacific Company, a Kentucky corporation, Southern Pacific Company, a Delaware corporation, and Southern Pacific Railroad Company, a Delaware corporation. The two defendant Delaware corporations filed answer alleging nonexistence of the defendant Kentucky corporation; alleging the defendant Southern Pacific Railroad Company, a Delaware corporation, to be the owner in fee simple of the property described in the amended complaint subject to certain interests and encumbrances (not important herein) and subject to a lease to the Southern Pacific Company, a Delaware corporation; and alleging occupancy of the land under the lease by the Southern Pacific Company, a Delaware corporation. The answer alleged the source of title claimed in their answer to be a grant from the United States government and also alleged acquisition of title by adverse possession. The two defendant Delaware corporations also filed a counterclaim alleging ownership and seeking a decree quieting title in their behalf. Plaintiffs by reply put in issue defendants claim of ownership.
